Travis Hunter is a unique “two-way” talent for the Colorado Buffaloes. The star recruit can play wide receiver and cornerback like the legendary Deion Sanders. During their opening game against TCU, Hunter excelled on both sides of the ball, getting a massive 129 snaps. Clearly, Deion sees much of himself in Hunter but also values him as an asset for the Buffaloes.

But the huge question is, if Hunter enters the draft next year, which side of the ball will he choose? Now, a Miami Dolphins wide receiver worth $40 million is offering Hunter some advice. 

Tyreek Hill gives Travis Hunter draft advice

During a recent podcast, NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill revealed his top picks for the upcoming draft, naming Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Malik Nabers. But when asked about next year’s stars, Hill immediately shifted his focus to the Colorado Buffaloes. “Oh next year, those two boys are going Top 5. Travis Hunter and Shedeur,” he said. He added, “And I think Travis Hunter should play receiver.”

Hill broke down his thoughts and explained that Hunter’s “ability to just you know just to catch the ball, run routes” will make for a great WR. The $40 million star even added a financial tip for Hunter. “And receivers like you get paid a whole lot more money man,” he said. Hill’s advice highlights the importance of “positional value” for Hunter’s future in the league. This much-needed advice comes right after Hunter has opened up about his desire to increase his income.

The two-way star eyes financial success in 2025

Travis Hunter isn’t shy about his desire to earn big in the future. He openly discussed his financial goals recently, even crunching numbers with his quarterback, Shedeur Sanders. Hunter confidently said, “I hope he [Shedeur Sanders] wins so he can set that money up for us.” He has already fantasized about a draft position that could earn him a $14 million contract. However, he’s ready to adjust his strategy if Shedeur secures an even bigger deal. 

Hypothetically, if Shedeur lands a $23 million contract, Hunter anticipates switching positions to secure an $18 million contract for himself. This kind of strategic thinking shows how seriously Hunter takes his financial success ahead. Now, with Hunter’s focus on earning potential, Tyreek Hill’s advice about the financial benefits of playing wide receiver is sure to resonate. Given the higher salaries for receivers, there’s a strong possibility that Hunter could switch to a full-time wideout position soon.
